Persian lessons

I like it very much, but unfortunately there are some flaws that don't give full marks... The most ingenious one is that through the construction of "fake Persian", each name is given a meaning that can be used authentically, so It will make the viewer deeply empathize. And in the film, the male protagonist even conjures up some meaning of "judgment". What impressed me the most is the way the person who means "patient" is very impatient when he is cooking. I thought this was a wonderful expression. . The image of an ordinary person in the Nazis is also well shaped, especially the moment when he talks about his life experience in fake Persian. I didn't expect that this officer could not speak English, but then I thought that he was essentially an ordinary cook, and it was normal that he could not speak English. In the middle of the film, he said angrily, "I'm just a cook." He probably felt that his career was not going well. The character of Max is also very exciting. As a stubborn soldier, the final scene of the collapse of the world view adds a dimension to the film. And I think this actor is also very pleasing to the eye (. As for the flaws, for example, the rhythm at the beginning is a bit fast, and entering the main line feels a little abrupt. The old soldier that the male protagonist saw when he ran away for the first time did not explain his identity at all. When the male protagonist was in a coma They all spoke in fake Persian, and when he woke up, he actually spoke the language he made up to the field doctor. Although he would be a little awake at this time, it still felt a little strange.

A language creates a world, so it can be said that there is a world with only two men, the hero and the officer. No wonder the girls in the back row (after the show, they found out that they were pro-school girls...) kept mumbling. Well, although it's an anti-war theme from World War II, it's really quite romantic...

Persian Lessons quotes

  • Gilles: [about his daily fourty words in 'Farsi'] Inventing them is not a problem but to remember them all, it's impossible. And there will always be more. Many more.

  • Klaus Koch: [Koch took Gilles back after he was put to move to another camp] You would risk your life for those nameless people.

    Gilles: Those aren't nameless. Just because you don't know their names. At least they aren't murderers.

    Klaus Koch: I'm not a murderer.

    Gilles: No. You just make sure that the murderers eat well.
